During my Backpacking days, I discovered my passion for the Gaga movement language in Israel and for rave dancing in Berlin clubs. Coming from a conventional dance background, I was on a road to search for experiences that would ignite the freedom and joy of dancing with no expectations or pressure. Throughout the years as a dance artist, Gaga teacher and Berlin raver, I found deep passion in witnessing people discover how rich their bodies can move and how this discovery can translate later on to other aspects of their life. I narrowed some of these insights into three elements that I'm excited to share with you in this workshop and maybe transform your lives as much as it did mine -

“PASSION, PLEASURE & PLAY.”

ABOUT THE WORKSHOP:

I am excited to bring back this movement workshop I produced live in Berlin back in 2019 before COVID and translate it into the online landscape.

In this workshop, we will break down these 3 essential elements:

What does it mean to find passion? Is there an activity, a hobby, a job, a community or a lover that lets you express what you are passionate about? Do you relate passion into something you enjoy doing? Is it a force that stimulates your drive to pursue? How do you fuel your passion?

How do you experience PLEASURE? as we find many ways to be passionate, how can we experience moments of joy inside it? What pleasures you and how do you experience it in your everyday life? What does it mean to experience self-pleasure?

Do you let yourself indulge in PLAY? as we keep finding passionate ways to move and experiencing pleasure inside each moment, how can we set our curiosity free? How do you welcome a sense of play to find freedom and agency of moving? How often do you find yourself playing without any judgement, expectations or pressure to achieve something?

How can we integrate the power of these three elements into our work? particularly in the way we approach the mundane parts in our lives? Let’s dive into this work and find out together!

LOCATION:

The workshop will be held via Zoom. You will receive a Vimeo link of the recording.

SCHEDULE:

1 hr: Body Activation & Awareness Session

We will warm up the body to activate our sensorial awareness in our stamina, range, endurance, stretch and tap into the movement qualities of our skin, flesh and bones. Get ready to sweat a lot! It will be a workout :-)

10 mins: Break

30 mins: Embodied Discussion: PASSION, PLEASURE & PLAY

In this discussion, I will share with you the correlation of how we can integrate these three tools into our day-to-day activities especially in parts where we feel the most stuck, mundane or lack of creativity.

45 mins: Movement Research: PASSION, PLEASURE & PLAY

This movement research session will be about integrating the embodied discussion and translating it into the moving body. We will tackle simple movement exercise and transform them through the research.

15 mins: Dance floor Session into a Meditative Cool Down

This session allows us to put the research into practice. Opening the space to create beautiful moments with people and within yourself. We will close the session with a soft meditative cool down.

Spots are limited in capacity to keep the space warm and intimate.
